‘Can you do without police security?’ Vijayapura cop challenges Siddaramaiah on FB
Vijayapura: A police constable’s Facebook comment, challenging Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah to see if he could do without police security, has gone viral on social media.
The policeman, Vijayapura Rural Police Station constable Rajashekhar Khanapur, commented responding to Siddaramaiah’s words at a speech during the ‘Bharata Aikyata Yatre’ held by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee.
The post by the police constable has also come under the scanner mainly at the hands of Siddaramaiah’s supporters.
On Friday, Siddaramaiah, addressing the ‘Bharata Aikyata Yatre’ in Gundlupet, Chamarajanagar district, had said, “The state government will change in six months, and the Congress will be back in power. I warn some of the policemen, if they support the BJP, we will have to teach you a lesson.”
In response, Khanapur has told Siddaramaiah on Facebook, “When you criticize the police to such an extent, you should be able to reach home without police security.”
The former chief minister’s supporters, however, have criticized the constable for supporting the BJP openly on social media. “A government job requires a staff member to work without showing affiliation to any party,” they pointed out.
H D Ananda Kumar, superintendent of police, Vijayapura district, has stated that the Facebook comment by constable Khanapur will be reviewed. “We will take action if we get a complaint. No one has complained in this regard so far,” he clarified.
